It is difficult to control the molecular wherein X is Cl, Br, or a pseudohalogen group; weight and the polydispersity (molecular weight distribution) RandR are eachindependently selected from X, H, an alkyl of polymers produced by conventional radical polymeriza group, a cycloalkyl group, a heterocyclic group, an arenyl tion, and difficult to achieve a highly uniform and well-de 25 group and an aryl group, or R' and R taken together with fined product. It is also often difficult to control radical poly the carbon to which they are attached form a carbocyclic merization processes with the degree of certainty necessary in ring: specialized applications, such as in the preparation of end R and R are each independently selected from an alkyl functional polymers, block copolymers, star (co)polymers, group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an arenyl group, and other novel topologies. 30 In a controlled radical polymerization process radicals are or RandR' taken together with the carbon to which they generated reversibly, and irreversible chain transfer and chain are attached form a carbocyclic ring; termination are absent. There are four major controlled radi Q is a linking group selected from a covalent bond, cal polymerization methodologies: atom transfer radical (—CH2—), CO-O-(CH2) , CO.
